Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Gijon
There will be fireworks when Eibar and Sporting Gijon go head to head at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua on Matchday 6. Los Armeros aim to build on a 3-2 win over Real Sociedad B where summer signing Stoichkov scored a brace. The former Sabadell man will be the man to watch in the home team, and we predict that he is going to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive league win. Sporting Gijon are eager to retain top position in the standings, and given their attacking potential, we believe that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Serbia-born attacker Uros Djurdjevic, who plays for the Montenegro national team, is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Rafa Soares):
Born in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal, Rafa Soares is a professional footballer who plays for Vitoria Guimaraes as a left-back. Rafa is a product of the Porto football academy, but he did not see any game action in Primeira Liga with the Dragons.
After scoring eight goals in 61 appearances with Porto B, the Portuguese defender spent a couple of seasons on loan at Academica, Rio Ave, and Fulham. In 2018 he played for Portimonense, but nowadays, he wears the number 5 shirt at Vitoria Guimaraes. Rafa Soares has nine caps with the Portugal U21 team, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the Portugal senior team.
His primary position is left-back, but he is used as both left midfielder and left winger as well. Rafa’s preferred foot is left, and he has a contract with Vitoria Guimaraes until June 2021. Rafa Soares made his Primeira Liga debut against Academica back in January 2016, during his spell with Vitoria Setubal.
Highlighted Team (Gijon):
Sporting Gijon are a Spanish football club that competes in La Liga. Sporting Gijon’s home ground is El Molinon, the stadium that was built in 1908. El Molinon is the oldest football field in Spain and the capacity of the stadium is 30,000. Sporting Gijon’s home kit is red and white and the club’s main rivals are Real Oviedo.
The two teams take on each other in the Asturian derby. Sporting Gijon did remarkably well to finish the 1978/1979 La Liga campaign in second position in the standings and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Los Rojiblancos were runners-up in Spanish Copa Del Rey in 1981 and 1982, but they have yet to win the Spanish Cup.
The club was founded in 1905 and the club’s original name was Sporting Gijones. Sporting Gijon participated in the UEFA Cup on six occasions, but they did not record a good result in the European competition.
